East African Communityhttps://doi.org/10.60682/jkk6-ch73Action planThe East African Community (EAC) brings together six Partner States, namely: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Sudan and Uganda. Re-established in 1999, the EAC is one of the fastest growing regional economic blocs and home to 177 million citizens, of which over 22% is urban population. Through its 5th EAC Development Strategy the EAC aims to build a firm foundation for transforming the East African Community into a stable, competitive and sustainable lower-middle income region. The strategy also identifies enhancement of regional industrial development through investment in key priority sectors, improvement of agricultural productivity, value addition and facilitation of movement of agricultural goods to enhance food security in the region. The Food and Nutrition Security Strategy provides a basis for a unified approach to implementation, coordination and monitoring of the food and nutrition security programs at the national and regional level. The strategy is anchored on three interrelated objectives namely: (i) improving sustainable and inclusive agricultural production; (ii) strengthening resilience among households, communities and livelihood systems; and (iii) improving access to and utilization of nutritious, diverse and safe foods.enOther
